I know AAC carries it, thats where I get mine. I don't know any other places that carry it though.

I've been using CLP ever since it came to the INDY area many years ago. I have not had a problem. I have also used RIG products too with good luck on firearms I store away.

Plus, I like the smell of CLP. Go Figure.

I checked out the site and ordered some MILITEC-1 to try it.

Thanks for the lead.

As a general rule, CLP is outstanding in my opinion. I have used it for years, even in the desert. The only exceptions for me are my M1 Garands, M1 Carbines, and 1911's. They LOVE the bearing grease.

I firmly believe "gun oil" comes from the same factories as every other oil.

As I've said elsewhere. I'm using High temp wheel bearing grease. $2.76 for a 1lb tub of it. Should last the rest of my life.

+1 to that... I have used that stuff on my Garand and ar without a problem...

3-1 is all my dad ever used when I was growing up. Every one of his guns still look perfect to this day. I use the remington spray just for the fact it is so darn easy. I did just buy a can of breakfree because of all the good things I read about it on this site. My personal opinon is: Use anything, any oil you want but use something. Keep in mind the temp and humidity of were you store your stuff."

I have used CLP in the Desert, Cold and Wet. CLP gets my vote.

To bad no poll taken on this thread. CLP is the clear winner.

Mods feel free to close the thread.

VN vet, I also love the smell of CLP. For years I would return home from an IPSC match with my guns (and my wife's guns) and retire to the garage and revel in the smell of CLP while listening to a FULL brass tumbler droning and planning evil stages for next weeks match. God I loved that life.

LaRue Machine Gunners Lube.

I use light weight slide glide on my handguns and Ballistol on my semi auto rifles. Of course the Garand gets the grease.

BreakFree CLP on everything.

I'm just another RemOil user...

Hoppes to clean...RemOil to lube.

I like to use rem-oil or CLP. I've found that the CLP does a better job IMHO.

I just received my Bonus Pac Militec-1 order with free shipping. Darn that was fast shipping. I'll let you all know what I think about this stuff.

This is the best gun oil I have found.

Eezox premium synthetic lubricants from Warren Custom Outdoor Products

+1

From their website: EEZOX with only 0.42 - 0.45 mil film thickness achieved a Peak Load "pass" of 4,500 lbs. This load factor far exceeds pressures found in any firearm, including full automatic machine guns. Falex tested by ASTM D-3233 procedures (Mil Spec requires only 1,000 lbs.)

I had used WD40 in the past untill I got yelled at by a collector. He told me that if you HAD to clean a gun and nothing else is available WD40 would be better than nothing. He went on to say that WD40 is known for REMOVING rust and blueing is a controlled rust that will slowely wear off when using WD40. It made sense to me. I was also told that more bluing is taken off of guns because of using the wrong lubes and protectants than is removed by years of handleing.

I'm a hillbilly not an engineer so I'm not sure if this info is correct.
